Flour from the nearby mill, lamb from the surrounding fields, cheese from the local dairy ... the rundown on the top 30 farm shops

1 Brockweir and Hewelsfield Village ShopChepstow, Glos
Having formed a not-for-profit organisation, locals built this shop and now
run it with volunteers (though they can pay a manager) and respond to
neighbourhood input. Lots of local produce, a donations section of fruit and
vegetables by the door, a book swap at the side of the café and an upstairs
room (with internet) for hire. Its green credentials are demonstrated by the
solar panels on the roof. Respect.
